Be inspired by the difference made when the community connects with classrooms to help students thrive. ISD students and staff members will showcase programs made possible by our generous donors and students from across the district will take the stage to share how community support has given them new opportunities to succeed in school and beyond.

Whether you’re a current Issaquah Schools Foundation supporter curious to learn more about the difference you’ve made, or you’re interested in learning about the Foundation and our mission, this is an event you don’t want to miss!

Nourish Every Mind is a fundraising event and free to attend with lunch provided, we do suggest a minimum donation of $250 (or just $21/month) to support Foundation work.

Can’t Attend?

You can still help students across every school continue to have access to opportunities to thrive! Every gift of $500 or more, up to $148,000, will be matched thanks to the generosity of our Angel Donors. Help us raise $450,000 to expand our programming so that even more students can benefit from Academic Support, Enrichment, Well-Being and Innovation opportunities.
